My wife bought me 6 chicks for my birthday from Tractor Supply and was told they were silkies. As the chicks got older they started growing feathers on their feet, but didn't have that fluffy look. I did some research and found silkies have 5 toes and black feet and beaks. These don't.
Now that they are almost full grown they look like mini chickens with feathery feet.
What did end up with? I don't have a picture to post yet, but was hoping someone would know.
I'm a little disappointed in Tractor Supply for selling these chicks as silkies.
 
How about these? Anybody know what breed these guys are?

That's crappy! I got some silkies from a hatchery a few weeks ago, but they omitted the fact that they were crosses. I was so disappointed when smooth feathers started growing in on 2 of them
 
Those are brahmas! The white and silver ones are dark brahmas and the tan one is a buff brahmas. Lovely birds!

Ok. Awesome! It seems a lot of people like this breed.
They are a little feisty. When I put them in with my buff Orpingtons of the same age they really picked on the Orpingtons for the first day.
All is calm now.
